Lavender Therapeutic Hothouse Comfort Pillows

Hard day? Curl up with one of these babies. They're little 14- by 7.5-inch pillows filled with buckwheat and lavender. You can even toss them in the microwave for a few seconds, and they warm up like heating pads. They come in four varieties, each one decorated with a different botanical silhouette.

$43.95 each, Wrapables

Flamenco Shower Curtain

Sometimes when I'm in the shower, it's like the rest of the world doesn't exist. I think this ruffled cotton shower curtain with its many calming shades of blues and greens would get me one step closer to tuning out the entire universe. At least until the hot water runs out.

$118.00, Anthropologie

No Slip Bath Art

If you have a fear of slipping in the bathtub like I do (hey, I don't want to die naked with shampoo in my eyes, okay?), these things will give you some peace of mind. They keep the tub from getting slippery. And you can pretend you're taking a bath in a goldfish pond.

$12.00, Urban Outfitters

Baroque Balance Scale

Okay, this price is kind of steep for a bathroom scale, but this is the first scale I've seen that doesn't deserve to be hidden under the bathroom sink. In fact, since it's mostly there for decoration, do you really need to weigh yourself at all? Hey, that's my argument, and I'm sticking to it.

$118.00, Chiasso

Red Currant and Thyme Tea Olive Oil Fleur de Lis Soap

I haven't yet tried any of the soaps from 4th Ave. Soap Company, run by Sarah Massagee of Iowa City, but I'm really taken with all the pretty shapes and interesting scents. This red bar, for instance, is made of extra virgin olive oil, with notes of lemon-lime, berry, bergamot, thyme, lavender, cassis, and white musk. You can find a lot of other cool scents and pretty soap shapes in Sarah's Etsy shop.

$5.00 each, Etsy

Pebbles Beachstone Floormat

This cool bath mat, made out of more than 100 polished river rocks, looks very zen in your bathroom. Plus, it has a cool, bumpy texture that kind of massages the bottom of your foot when you stand on it.

$58.00, Chiasso

Geneva Satin Print Slippers

These shiny satin slippers are sleek enough to wear under your desk at work, and cozy enough to curl up on the couch in. They have elastic in the heel for a snug fit and come in a pretty satin bag.

On sale for $39.99, Banana Republic

UGG Australia Fluff Flip Flop Slipper

I don't usually care for UGGs, but these fluffy sheepskin slippers are amazing. They even have a rubber sole so you can wear them on the linoleum without slipping around (or wear them outside like you know you will).

$69.99, Nordstrom

Amy Jo Gladstone Cashmere Cable Slippers

Time to toss that pair of ratty slippers with Bugs Bunny's head on them. After a long day, your feet will thank you for these cute and comfy cashmere slippers. Plus, they are pretty enough to wear in front of someone besides your cat.

$88.95, Zappos.com

Sephora Body Wash Shower Gel

These shower gels come in seven different fruity scents. I recently tried a bottle of the tangerine grapefruit, and it smells amazing. It's kind of weird, but when I use it in the morning, it makes me feel more awake. And thirsty for grapefruit juice.

$15.00, Sephora

Woodsy Woods Shower Curtain

I think I'd feel a bit like Eve while showering in this clear vinyl shower curtain with a forest scene painted on. It's fitting too, because instead of being tempted to eat an apple, I'm usually just tempted to take too long in the shower.

$26.00, Urban Outfitters

PB Classic Glass Apothecary Jars

If you need a place to stash your Q-tips and cotton balls or just a fancy place to put decorative items and guest soaps, try these apothecary jars. I especially like the giant one, which is 27 inches tall.

$39.00, $49.00, and $69.00, depending on the size, Pottery Barn

Help Drain Stoppers

I seem to find all of the morbid bathtub stoppers. (See?) Even though it resembles the hand of a little drowning person, I still think it's cute.

$6.00, Mxyplyzyk (click on bath)

Hot Sunglasses Beach Towel

This may be the coolest beach towel ever. It's a cotton pink number designed to look like a pair of shades that Nicole Richie could appreciate.

$20.00, Fred Flare

Lime Basil & Mandarin Shower Gel

This stuff smells absolutely amazing. The light, summery citrus and basil scent really wakes you up in the shower.

$50.00, Jo Malone
